Michigan mulls putting abortion rights initiative before voters

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : Democrats hope that it is a sign that the Republican Party may have underestimated just how unpopular such policies are, and that abortion will become a key issue for voters in the upcoming midterm elections, which will determine which party controls the US Congress.
36% : Michigan has a 91-year-old state law that would ban abortion in all nearly all circumstances, even in cases of rape and incest.
35% : In August, voters in the state of Kansas struck down an initiative that would have empowered the state to ban abortion.
30% : Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer has put abortion rights at centre stage, blasting her opponent, Republican Tudor Dixon, for her opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest.
